Won't there be a trilogy first if Bivol wins this time???

That seems like the more likely scenario right?

Benavidez always looking past his opponents it seems. Might catch up to him with Morrell.

Hes going to need to show more power at LHW than he did in first outing if he stands a chance against both of them.
Lost some confidence in him being a wrecking machine at this weight.

I also lost some confidence but let's see how he settles into this weight. He is still young.

Beterbiev is not getting any younger and at this age his performances become harder to predict. I would love to see Benavidez vs. Beterbiev and Morrell vs. Bivol fwiw.

Yeah Benavidez has time on his side with both Canelo & Beterbiev. They only are on the decline. Canelo is smart. He knows this. Thats why he doesn't even entertain David.
I agree, too early to rule out Benavidez ruling the division.
 
they've both looked ropey at lhw tbh, that's rarified air
 
Benavidez would get badly hurt against Beterbiev, I struggle to think of a worse matchup for the guy.
 
How do you guys think Benavidez would do against Bivol or Beterbiev?

I think Bivol smokes him. Think it could look a lot like the Canelo fight.

I think he has a better chance style wise with Biev who may lose a step after his war/wars with Bivol. Also being on the wrong side of 40.

"Fast start" Benavidez is a scary concept but if he fades like he did against Morrell, Biev takes him out.
Crazy fight. Think hes more of a live dog vs Biev, but an underdog in both.
 
pretty poor that the fella has had to go and fight in a weight division out of his comfort zone because Canelo wouldnt fight him

he isnt beating either Bivol or Biev

Both Bivol and Beterviev take him to deep waters and hurt him, that being said he's earned his shot at the winner if we don't get a trilogy for some reason.
 
Benavidez is about to get schooled then.
 
I get the impression win/lose Beterbiev is gonna retire after the Bivol rematch. But T*rki is gonna offer him a big fat cheque to make the fight I suppose.
 
We need to see how Beterbiev vs Bivol 2 plays out first. Right now though I'd take Beterbiev to stop him unless he gets old overnight. He's 40 but hasn't shown any significant physical decline yet. Bivol? He should be able to outbox Benavidez rather easily. Too elusive and mobile for Benavidez and he's very difficult to pin down or get on top of. Even if you do trap him in the corner or along the ropes he's good at spinning out and getting back to the center of the ring.
